POCKET! This is an additional failure point.  do not attach this to your
system.  If you really feel you need it, store it in your drysuit pocket,
and deploy when you need. 

Also, ideally, all items in your drysuit pocket should be tied off,
although I am not currently implementing this ideal, because I haven't
thought up a good way to do it for the different items. 

I dive Pacific NW, similar conditions, no lobster, no warm water in summer.
